Diary of a mini-taper week City2Surf 14km : Day 3 5 x Power Hills ; Keith in Bega Recovery Run

This afternoon almost on dusk 16km including 5 x power hills (20 seconds to 100 seconds) on moderate to steep incline bike path. It was a beautiful day with light winds, blue skies although still on the cool side. I'm sitting on 120km last 7 days. I should be able to get it down to 90-100km by City2Surf 14km on Sunday with only 1-2 easy days.

Keith in Bega did a recovery run. Steve is back in action with a 6km run after a calf strain. Steve will be jogging City2Surf with the masses.

Just strides and maybe a tempo run before City2Surf. I'll take it day by day. 16km scheduled for tmoz. Weather will start to turn nasty again.

Rain Event Continues ; Indoor Training ; Tour de France Begins this Weekend with start and finish in Lille

Heavy rain with Gale Force Winds Overnight and continuing today. This weather system should move off the coast in a day or two. Today just indoor training with the odd walk outside to get food at the local store. Tour de France commences this weekend in Lille. Even though I've run over most of the stages over previous years I still get excited every year when it comes around again. The weather today here is very similar to when I visited Lille in 2014 for the Grand depart, cold, miserable and still excited to be there. I got out there for a second Fast Paced run this afternoon on my HillLoop. No change in the weather and another 15km done for the day.
